Andy McKee at L’Étage, Rennes

Friday, April 30th, 2010

Just before I talk about the subject of this post, I have to mention that I saw the TraLala band last month, but I didn’t post about it since even though it was a nice concert, the crowd was one of the worst in this setup. And I feel sorry for those who were fans but didn’t have ear protections and hence spent half the concert with their hands on their ears.

So, yesterday I saw Andy McKee at L‘Étage: the guy was really cool and sweet, playing instrumental songs on acoustic guitar and harp guitar, adding percussion sounds using the guitar body and using a lot of different guitar technics (harmonics, taping…) which gave an impressive result. He also used a lot of different tunings (even breaking a string while retuning — I feel less alone). Highly recommended to guitar fans.
